It is tempting to think that all possible transitions are permissible, and that an atomic spectrum arises from the transition of the electron from any initial orbital to any other orbital. However, this is not so, because a photon has an intrinsic spin angular momentum of sqrt2 (h)/(2pi) corresponding to S = 1 although it has no charge and no rest mass. On the other hand, an electron has got two types of angular momentum :Orbital angular momentum, L=sqrt(l(l+1))h/(2pi) and spin angular momentum, arising from orbital motion and spin motion of electron respectively. The change in angular momentum of the electron during any electronic transition mush compensate for the angular momentum carries away by the photon. to satisfy this condition the difference between the azimuthal quantum numbers of the orbital within which transition takes place must differ by one. Thus, an electron in a d-orbital (1 = 2) cannot make a transition into an s = orbital (I = 0) because the photon cannot carry away enough angular momentum. An electron as is well known, possess four quantum numbers n, I, m and s. Out of these four I determines the magnitude of orbital angular momentum (mentioned above) while (2n m determines its z-components asm((h)/(2pi)) the permissible values of only integers right from -1 to + l. While those for I are also integers starting from 0 to (n − 1). The values of I denotes the sub shell. For I = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,..... the sub-shells are denoted by the symbols s, p, d, f, g, .... respectively The spin-only magnetic moment of free ion is sqrt(8)B.M. The spin angular momentum of electron will be

Answer»

`sqrt2 (H)/(2PI)`
`sqrt(8) (h)/(2pi)`
`sqrt(6) (h)/(2pi)`
`sqrt(3/4) (h)/(2pi)`

SOLUTION :`sqrt8 = sqrt(n(n+2)), n = 2 `
No. of unpaired electrons = 2
`s= 1/2 + 1/2 =1`
`L_s = sqrt(s(s+1)) h/(2pi) = sqrt2 (h)/(2pi)`

For I = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,..... the sub-shells are denoted by the symbols s, p, d, f, g, .... respectively The orbital angular momentum of an electron in p-orbital makes an angle of 45^@ from Z-axis. Hence Z-component of orbital angular momentum of election is :

Answer»

`H/pi`
`((h)/(2pi))`
`- h/pi`
`-((h)/(2pi))`

SOLUTION :`m= sqrt(L (l+ 1)COS theta), l = 1 ` for `p^-` orbital,
`m = sqrt(1(2)) cos 45^@`
Z- component of O.A.M = `h/(2pi)`

It is planned to carry the reaction CaCO_(3)(s) hArr CaO (s) +CO_(2)(g) at 1273K and 1 bar (a) Is this reaction spontaneous at this temperature and pressure ? (b) Calculate the value of (i) K_(p) at 1273 K for the reaction and (ii) partial pressure of CO_(2) at equilibrium Given Delta_(f) H^(@) values (kJ mol^(-1)): CaCO_(3)(s) =-1206.9, CaO(s)= - 635.1, CO_(2)(g) = - 393.5 S^(@)value (JK^(-1) mol^(-1)) CaCO_(3)(s) =92.9, CaO(s) = 39.8, CO_(2)(g) = 213.7.

Answer»

SOLUTION :(a) `Delta_(r) H^(@) = Delta_(f) H^(@) ( CaO) +Delta_(f)H^(@) ( CO_(2))]-[Delta_(f)H^(@) ( CaCO_(3))]`
`= [ - 635.1 + ( -393.5) ] -( - 1206.9 )= + 178.3 kJ MOL^(-1)`
`Delta_(r)S^(@) = [S^(@) ( CaO) + S^(@) ( CO_(2)) ] - [S^(@)(CaCO_(3))]`
`= ( 39.8 +213 .7)- 92.9= + 160.6 JK^(-1) mol^(-1)`
`Delta_(r)G^(@) =Delta_(r)H^(@) - T Delta_(r)S^(@)`
`= 178300 Jmol^(-1) - 1273 K xx 160.6 JK^(-1) mol^(-1)`
`= - 26143.8 J mol^(-1) = 26144 mol^(-1) = 26.1 kJ mol^(-1)`
As`Delta_(r) G^(@)` is negative, hence the reaction is spontaneous
(b)(i)`DeltaG^(@) = - 2.303 RT log K_(p)`
or `log K_(p) = ( - 26144 J mol^(-1))/( 2.303 xx 8.314 JK^(-1) xx 1273 K )`
`= 1.0726`
`K_(p) =` Antilog `1.0726 = 11.82`
Applying LAW of chemical equilibrium
`K_(p) = p_(CO_(2)) = 11.82` BAR

It is not possible to measure the atomic radius precisely since the electron cloud surrounding the atom doesnot have sharp boundary. One practical approach to estimate the size of an atom of a non-metallic element is to measure the distance between two atoms when they are bound together by a single bond in a covalent molecule and then dividing by two. For metals we define the term "metallic radius" which is taken as half the internuclear distance separating the metal cores in the metallic crystal. The vander Waal's radius represents the overall size of the atoms which includes its valence shell in a nonbonded situation. It is the half of the distance between two similar atoms in separate molecules in a solid. The atomic radius decreases across a period and increases down the group. Same trends are observed in case of ionic radius. Ionic radius of the species having same number of electrons depends on the number of protons in their nuclei. Which one among the following sets of ions represents the collection of isoelectronic species?

Answer»

`S^(2-) , Cl^(-) , K^(+) , CA^(2+) , Sc^(3+)`

It is not always easy to predict the position of attack on multiple substituted benzene. If the benzene ring bears different ortho/para directing group at the 1 and 4 position, the position, the position of further substitution is not immediately clear. sometimes steric effect determine the outcome. in other cases, electronic factors determine the outcome, and further reaction will be at the position activated by the more strongly activating group. Some substituents are so strongly activating that no catalyst is needed to restrict the reaction to mono-substitution. It is possible to reduce the activity of such groups (by side chain reaction) so that the reaction can be stopped after mono substitution then and again by a side cahin reaction the original group is restored. effective use can sometimes be made of removable blocking groups on the ring.

It is generally true that alkanes with even number of carbon atoms can be prepared in good yield by Wurtz reaction. But both butane and isobutane contain four carbon atoms each but butane can be prepared in good yield by Wurtz reaction but not isobutane. Why so ? Explain.

Answer»

Solution :n-Butane is a symmetrical molecule and hence a pure sample of n-butane is obtained when ethyl iodide is heated with Na metal in dry ether.
`underset"Ethyl iodide "(CH_3CH_2I)+ 2Na + ICH_2CH_3 underset"Heat"overset"Dry ether"to underset"n-Butane"(CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_3)+ 2NaI`
But isobutane is an unsymmetrical molecule. To prepare isobutane we need two alkyl halides,i.e., methyl iodide and ISOPROPYL iodide. Whenever a mixture of two alkyl halides is heated with Na metal , actually three alkanes are FORMED . This is DUE to the reason that two alkyl halides in addition to reacting with each other also REACT amongst themselves giving a mixture of three alkanes as shown below :
`underset"Isopropyl iodide "(CH_3-oversetoverset(CH_3)|CH-I)+2Na+underset"Methyl idodide"(I-CH_3) underset"Heat"overset"Dry ether"to underset"Isobutane"(CH_3-oversetoverset(CH_3)|CH-CH_3+2NaI`
`underset"Isopropyl iodide "(CH_3-oversetoverset(CH_3)|CH-I)+2Na+I-oversetoverset(CH_3)|CH-CH_3 underset"Heat"overset"Dry ether"to underset"2,3-Dimethylbutane"(CH_3-oversetoverset(CH_3)|CH-oversetoverset(CH_3)|CH-CH_3)+2NaI`
`underset"Methyl iodide"(CH_3-I)+2Na+I-CH_3 underset"Heat"overset"Dry ether "to underset"Ethane"(CH_3-CH_3)+2NaI`
Since a mixture of three alkanes is formed which is difficult to separate, therefore, a pure sample of isobutane cannot be prepared by Wurtz reaction .

It is desired to reduce the volume of 1000 cm of a gas by25%. To what temperature the gas be cooled if the initial temperature is 125^@C and the pressure remains constant ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Given that
`V_1 = 1000 cm^3, V_2 = 1000 - (1000 xx 25)/100= 750 cm^3`
`T_1 = 125 + 273 = 398 K, "" T_2` = ?
Since pressure remains CONSTANT, therefore, according to Charles. LAW, we have
`V_1/T_1 = V_2/T_2`
or `T_2= (V_2 T_1)/V_1 =(750 xx 398)/(1000) = 298K`
Hence, the given gas should be cooled to `298 - 273 = 25^@C`to reduce its volume by `25%`.
26.

It is desired to increases the value of 80 cm^(3) of gas by 20% without changing the pressure to what temperature the gas be heated if its initial temperature is 25^(@)C?

Answer»

Solution :The desired increases in the volume of gas
`=20%` of 80 `cm^(3)=(80)/(100)xx20=16 cm^(3)`
Thus, the FINAL volume of the gas `=80+16=96 cm^(3)`
Now, `v_(1)=80 cm^(3) "" v_(2) =96 cm^(3)`
`T_(1), 25^(@)C=298 K "" T_(2) ?`
Applying Charle.s law, `(V_(1))/(T_(1))=(V_(2))/(T_(2)):.T_(2) =(V_(2)T_(1))/(V_(1))`
`:. T_(2)=(96 cm^(3)xx298K)/(80 cm^(3))=357*6 K=357*6-273=84*6^(@)C :. T_(2)=84*6^(@)C`

`Sn^(2+)` is reducing while `Pb^(4+)` oxidising

Solution :Since inert pair effect becomesmore PRONOUNCED down the GROUP,therefore +4 oxidationstable of Sn is more stable than its +2 oxidatationstate andhence `Sn^(2+)` loses two electronsand thus acts a reducing agent.
`underset(" Less stable ")(Sn^(2+))rarr underset(" More stable ")(Sn^(4+)) + 2e^(-)`
In contrast, +2 oxidationstate of Pb is more STABLETHAN its +4 oxidationstate,therefore `Pb^(4+)`acceptstwo electrons andthus actsas an oxidising agent.
`underset(" Less stable ")(Pb^(4+)) + 2e^(-) rarr underset(" More stable ")(Pb^(2+))`
Thus, option (d) is CORRECT.

It has been found that the pH of a 0.01 M solution of an organic acid is 4.15. Calculate the concentration of the anion, the ionization constant of the acid and its pK_(a).

Answer»

Solution :`HA hArr H^(+) + A^(-)`
`pH = - log [H^(+)] or log [H^(+)]= - pH = - 4.15 = BAR(5) . 85`
`:. [H^(+)]=7.08 XX 10^(-5)M = 7.08xx10^(-5)M`
`[A^(-)]=[H^(+)]=7.08xx10^(-5)M`
`K_(a)=([H^(=)][A^(-)])/([HA])=((7.08xx10^(-5))(7.08xx10^(-5)))/(10^(-2))=5.0 xx10^(-7)`
`pK_(a)=-log K_(a) = - log (5.0xx10^(-7))= 7-0.699=6.301`

It has been found that the pH of a 0.01 M solution of an organic acid is 4.15. Calculate the concentrationof the anion, the ionizationconstant of the acid and its pK_a.

Answer»

Solution :Calculationof `H^+` :pH=-LOG `[H^+]`= -4.15 = `bar5.85`
`therefore [H^+]`= Antilog `(bar5.85)=7.079xx10^(-5)`
Calculation of ionization constant `K_a` :
`{:("WEAK acid :",HA hArr, H^(+)+,A^-),("Initial M:",0.01,0,0),("EQUILIBRIUM M:",(0.01-x), x,x):}`
So, `[H^+]=[A^-]=7.079xx10^(-5)=x`
[HA]=(0.01 -x) `APPROX` 0.01 (because `0.01 GT gt gt x`) `K_a`
`=([H^+][A^-])/([HA])`
`=((7.079xx10^(-5))(7.079xx10^(-5)))/0.01`
`=5.011xx10^(-7)`
Calculation of `pK_a` :
`pK_a=-log K_a`
`=-log (5.011xx10^(-7))`
=-(0.6999-7)=-(-6.30)=+6.30

It has been found that 0.290 g of an organic compound containing C, H and O on complete combustion yielded 0.66 g of CO_2 and 0.27 g of H_2O. The vapour density of the compound is found to be 29.0. Determine the molecular formula of the compound.

Answer»

Solution :Calculation of percentage of carbon :
The gram molecular mass of `CO_(2)`
`=12.01 + (2 XX 16.0) = 44.01 g`
This means that 44.01 g of `CO_2` contain 12.01 g of carbon.
`therefore` The mass of carbon present in 0.66 g of `CO_(2) = 12.01/44.01 xx 0.66 = 0.18 g`
This much carbon comes from 0.290 g of the given COMPOUND.
`therefore`Percentage of carbon in the given compound
`=(0.18)/0.290 xx 100 = 62.1`
Calculation of percentage of hydrogen:
The gram molecular mass of `H_(2)O`
`=(2 xx 1.008) + 16.0 = 18.0 g`
This means that 18.0 g of WATER contain = `2 xx 1.008 = 2.016` g of hydrogen.
`therefore`The mass of hydrogen present in 0.27 g of `H_(2)O`
`=(2.016)/18.0 xx 0.27 = 0.03 g`
This much hydrogen comes from 0.290 g of the compound.
`therefore`Percentage of hydrogen in the given compound
`=0.03/0.290 xx 100 = 10.34`
Calculation of percentage of oxygen : Percentage of oxygen = `100 -(62.1 + 10.34) = 27.56`
Calculation of empirical FORMULA:

`therefore` The empirical formula of the given compound is `C_3H_6O`
Calculation of molecular formula : The empirical formula mass
`=(3 xx 12.01) + 6 xx 1.008 + 16.0`
= 58.0 amu
Molecular mass = `2 xx` VAPOUR density
`=2 xx 29.0 = 58.0 amu`
`therefore n =("Molecular mass")/("Empirical formula mass") = 58.0/58.0 = 1`
`therefore` Molecular formula = `1 xx` Empirical formula
`=1 xx C_(3)H_(6)O = C_(3)H_(6)O`
Hence, the molecular formula of the given compound is `C_(3)H_(6)O`.

It has been estimated that 93% of all atoms in the entire universe are hydrogen and that the vast majority of those remaining are helium. Based on only these two elements, estimate the mass percentage composition of the universe.

Answer»

Solution :Given that out of 100 atoms of H and He, 93 atoms are of H and 7 atoms are of He, that is, the number of MOLES of H and He atoms, out of 100 moles, are 93 and 7 respectively.
Mass of H `=93 xx 1 = 93 g`
Mass of He `=7 xx 4 = 28 g`
`therefore` mass PERCENTAGE of H `=93/(93 + 28) xx 100 = 76.86%`
`therefore` mass percentage of He `=23.14%`

Answer :A
42.

Isotopes are the atoms of same element, they have same atomic number but different mass number. Isotopes have different number of neutrons in their nucleus. If an element exists in two isotopes having atomic masses .a. and .b. in the ratio m : n, then average atomic mass will be mxa+nxb/m+n Different isotopes of same element have same position in the periodic table. The elements which have single isotope are called monoistropic elements. Greater is the percentage composition of an isotope, more will be its abundance in nature. Atomic mass of boron is 10.81. It has two isotopes namely ""_(5)B^(11)and""_(5)B^(x) with their relative abundance of 80% and 20% respectively. The value of x is

Isotherms of carbon dioxide gas are shown in Fig. Mark a path for changing gas into liquid such that only one phase (i.e., either a gas or a liquid) exists at any time during the change. Explain how the temperature, volume and pressure should be change to carry out the change.

Answer»

SOLUTION :It is possible to change a gas into a liquid or a liquid into a gas by a process such that there is a single phase present always.

e.g., In figure given above, we can move from A to vertically by increasing the temperature, then we can reach the point by compressing the gas at constant temperature along the isotherm (isotherm at `31.1^(@)C`). The pressure will increase.
Now, we can move vertically down D by lowering TEMP. As we cross the H point, we get liquid on critical isotheron. Thus, at no stage during the process, we can through two - phase region.
These process is carried out at the TC, in which SUBSTANCE always remains in single phase. This is called continuity of state between the gaseous and the liquid state.
